I have heard for years that packaging electronic components(terminals, 
connectors, etc.) in cardboard boxes is bad.  The problem being that the 
sulfur in the cardboard will eventually contaminate the solderable surfaces,
 resulting in solderability problems.  The solution is to package in a 
non-permeable sealed bag(plastic) inside the box.  I have never been able 
to find any documentation to prove or dis-prove this issue.  If anyone 
knows of a published aricle, please contact me with the info.

Thanks
